/**
 * The Windows-only code below exists to solve a general problem with deadlocks
 * that we experience when sending synchronous IPC messages to processes that
 * contain native windows (i.e. HWNDs). Windows (the OS) sends synchronous
 * messages between parent and child HWNDs in multiple circumstances (e.g.
 * WM_PARENTNOTIFY, WM_NCACTIVATE, etc.), even when those HWNDs are controlled
 * by different threads or different processes. Thus we can very easily end up
 * in a deadlock by a call stack like the following:
 *
 * Process A:
 *   - CreateWindow(...) creates a "parent" HWND.
 *   - SendCreateChildWidget(HWND) is a sync IPC message that sends the "parent"
 *         HWND over to Process B. Process A blocks until a response is received
 *         from Process B.
 *
 * Process B:
 *   - RecvCreateWidget(HWND) gets the "parent" HWND from Process A.
 *   - CreateWindow(..., HWND) creates a "child" HWND with the parent from
 *         process A.
 *   - Windows (the OS) generates a WM_PARENTNOTIFY message that is sent
 *         synchronously to Process A. Process B blocks until a response is
 *         received from Process A. Process A, however, is blocked and cannot
 *         process the message. Both processes are deadlocked.
 *
 * The example above has a few different workarounds (e.g. setting the
 * WS_EX_NOPARENTNOTIFY style on the child window) but the general problem is
 * persists. Once two HWNDs are parented we must not block their owning
 * threads when manipulating either HWND.
 *
 * Windows requires any application that hosts native HWNDs to always process
 * messages or risk deadlock. Given our architecture the only way to meet
 * Windows' requirement and allow for synchronous IPC messages is to pump a
 * miniature message loop during a sync IPC call. We avoid processing any
 * queued messages during the loop (with one exception, see below), but 
 * "nonqueued" messages (see 
 * http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms644927(VS.85).aspx under the
 * section "Nonqueued messages") cannot be avoided. Those messages are trapped
 * in a special window procedure where we can either ignore the message or
 * process it in some fashion.
 *
 * Queued and "non-queued" messages will be processed during RPC calls if
 * modal UI related api calls block an RPC in-call in the child. To prevent
 * windows from freezing, and to allow concurrent processing of critical
 * events (such as painting), we spin a native event dispatch loop while
 * these in-calls are blocked.
